Darlington council approves use of Freys' grain leg for smart‑meter tower
Summary
The Darlington Town Council unanimously approved an agreement allowing Darlington Light and Power to place a smart‑meter tower on Joe and Sarah Frey’s grain leg, with a condition that the installation not interfere with the Freys’ internet service.
President Nicole Parker and the Darlington Town Council unanimously approved an agreement April 2 allowing Darlington Light and Power to use Joe and Sarah Frey’s grain leg for a smart‑meter tower.
The council approved the measure after a motion from Council member Jeremy Weliever and a second from President Nicole Parker; the vote was 5–0. The agreement includes a stipulation that the meter tower not interfere with the Freys’ existing internet service.
The tower placement was presented as part of new business; the transcript records the parcel owners by name and the utility as Darlington Light and Power. The council did not record additional technical specifications or a construction timeline in the public minutes.
The approval moves the siting decision forward; the transcript does not specify installation timing, permitting steps beyond the agreement, or any compensation terms for the Freys.
